Implants » Implant Advice

If you are interested in having dental implants but still unsure, why not phone us to book an informal, no-obligation chat with Louise, our Treatment Coordinator. Over a cup of tea, Louise will be able to answer your questions and listen to your needs and concerns. This service is available free of charge.

You can also type in any questions on our home page, and Niel will answer them as soon as he gets a chance!

If you would like to book a consultation with Niel or Tom, you can do so in the following ways:

Once you have scheduled an appointment, we will send a confidential medical and dental history questionnaire to you. You need to complete these and bring it with you when you come in for an appointment.

During your consultation, which will take approximately 1 hour, we will:

Review your Medical History.

Discuss your individual requirements

Conduct a full dental examination of your teeth, gums, soft tissues and jaw joint and head and neck muscles.

Take a series of clinical photographs.

Take impressions of your teeth and gums, which we will use to produce models, for proper implant planning.

Take all necessary radiographs.

Provide you with a full written report with recommendations and cost within a week of your consultation.

The fee for all of this is £180.

It is usually possible to give you an idea of what implant therapy will involve for you during this appointment. It is occasionally necessary to make a second appointment to discuss the results of the x-rays with you if we cannot obtain these immediately. In the event that x-rays prove inconclusive, it may be necessary to arrange for you to have a CT scan, which will tell us more about the quality and quantity of bone present.

In the majority of cases, we will be able to provide all the implant treatment in our surgery. However, should you have lost a considerable amount of bone, or should the treatment be very complex, it may be necessary to refer you to a specialist for part of the treatment.
